Pasta with Tomato n Basil Sauce

I had this pasta but in the form of lasagne when i went to my sister-in-law's place.I like the lasagne very much specially the sauce which she prepared for lasagne so i use the same sauce with different form of pasta.It is very quick to make also as there is no baking time .

Ingredients:

• 2 cups pasta(any form of pasta)
• 5 cups water
• 1 cup capsicum(any colour capsicum)
• 1/2 cup onion (or spring onions)
• 1 tbsp chopped garlic
• 1/2 cup zuccini
• 1 cup tomato basil sauce ( Or Fresh Basil and Tomato Sauce Seperately )
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp chilli flakes
• salt to taste
• 1/4 cup grated cheese
• Cilantro(Coriander Leaves) for garnish

Cooking procedure:

Take 5 cups water in a deep sauce pan and let it boil .

Add a little salt and oil to boiling water to prevent pasta to stick to each other

Let it boil for 30 sec then add pasta shells .

Let it cook till tender and drain the water and run under cold water some 1 minute then drain again and keep the pasta aside as cold water will help the pasta to cool down quickly and prevent stickiness.
